Chapter 112: Jiang Goddess Incident

Xia Qianyu was furious, defending her best friend. "How can they do this? These people are too awful. Luo Shen, you must sue them for slander!"

Beside her, Chu Feng felt a pang of guilt. Wasn't he the Ox God King?

At the same time, he cursed Zhou Yitian, that bastard, for implicating him as well. He wondered how they would resolve this and felt like hitting someone.

"Why are you gritting your teeth?" Xia Qianyu glared at him.

Chu Feng chuckled dryly, "I... isn't this me defending Miss Jiang? Who did this? It's terrible, utterly immoral!"

"You'd be so kind?" Xia Qianyu looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course!" Chu Feng said righteously.

Jiang Luo Shen was rarely slandered like this. What did "a story that must be told" even mean? Many people would immediately think of the King De Evening News incident.

Sure enough, after a few casual glances, the topic shifted, and the King De Evening News resurfaced, launching another smear campaign on its official website.

"Jiang Luo Shen Is On Bed Rest For Pregnancy!" This time, the King De Evening News headline was even more shocking and outrageous!

At that moment, inside the private dining room.

Even Jiang Luo Shen, for all her shrewdness and capability, was so furious she almost threw her communicator. Air rushed rapidly between her upturned nose and vibrant red lips.

Clearly, she was seething, her breathing growing heavy.

She quickly opened her communicator and contacted someone. "Uncle Li, why can't the King De Evening News be shut down?!"

The internet was in an uproar, with many cursing the King De Evening News for its lack of integrity. However, some also analyzed the situation, suggesting that while Jiang Luo Shen might not be on bed rest for pregnancy, there must be something going on between her and the Ox God King.

Jiang Luo Shen fumed.

Suddenly, a ringtone sounded. Chu Feng looked down, his knife and fork nearly slipping from his grasp. On the communicator screen lying on the table, the name "Zhou Yitian" was displayed.

He dared not answer, decisively and swiftly rejecting the call!

Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, "There are more and more spam calls these days. It's either insurance salesmen or 'beauty' sellers."

"What are you talking about?!" Xia Qianyu puffed out her cheeks.

"Haven't you received similar spam calls?" Chu Feng calmly looked at her.

Xia Qianyu felt like hitting him, her pure, wide eyes glaring. "You... you really are a pervert!"

Jiang Luo Shen, seething on the side, ignored their bickering and took a long time to calm down.

Chu Feng complimented, "Truly worthy of being the Nation's Goddess, so magnanimous. If it were me, I would have torn apart the King De Evening News by now." Then, with suspicion, he added, "By the way, what's the deal with that newspaper? Why do they always target you? It couldn't have been founded by someone named Wang De, could it? Did he pursue you and get rejected?"

Chu Feng's gossip flames burned brightly as he dug for information.

"Eat your food and say less!" Xia Qianyu didn't want her best friend to get angry again, as there were already enough bothersome things.

Jiang Luo Shen's composure was impressive; she quickly regained her calm and put on a faint smile. She tilted her head to look at Chu Feng. "You have a good relationship with Lin Nuoyi?"

"Yes, very good." Chu Feng nodded.

He knew they had investigated thoroughly, so there was no point in hiding anything.

Xia Qianyu was astonished, her small mouth forming an "O." "You really know Lin Nuoyi? Was that person who contacted you during dinner last time actually her?"

Chu Feng didn't deny it. "I already told you, I wasn't hiding anything. Your prejudice is just too deep."

"This... how could that be!" Xia Qianyu murmured. The idea that Lin Nuoyi might have had a "past" with this pervert greatly surprised her.

Jiang Luo Shen looked at Chu Feng, her fair, pretty face gleaming with a crystalline luster. Her half-closed eyes were captivating, radiating astonishing charm.

However, her heart was troubled, unlike the brightness on her face, because she was suspicious; there were too many questionable things about this person.

So far, from the clues she had gathered, Chu Feng was extremely complex. Could he possibly be the Ox God King?

This thought suddenly popped into her mind, startling her greatly!

This was mainly because several major, explosive events had occurred in recent days, interrupting Bodhi Gene's investigation into Chu Feng. Otherwise, she would surely have been able to deduce more.

"Send me all the latest findings. Continue investigating Chu Feng!" During dinner, Jiang Luo Shen sent a text message, instructing the relevant people.

The more she looked at Chu Feng, the more suspicious she became, and by the end, her expression had subtly changed.

Because, thinking about the online rumors implicating her and the Ox God King— "three days and two nights," "bed rest for pregnancy"— if the Ox God King really was Chu Feng, she would be absolutely furious.

"Luo Shen!" Xia Qianyu exclaimed, quickly sending her a text message. "Don't play with fire. You're not thinking that since he has a past with your rival, Lin Nuoyi, it seems exciting, and you want to try it too, are you? Don't be a lovesick fool!"

When Jiang Luo Shen saw her message, she wanted to hit her. She felt like spitting blood. How was she being a lovesick fool? Where was she playing with fire?!

Xia Qianyu retorted indignantly, "Still denying it? You were just staring at his face endlessly. Even if he's handsome, he's so hateful! Is he really worth it? You're Jiang Luo Shen; you've never been like this!"

Jiang Luo Shen realized she had been distracted. She was trying to guess Chu Feng's identity and couldn't help but glance at him more often, but to say she had romantic interest was a joke.

In fact, she genuinely felt an urge to have someone apprehend Chu Feng and interrogate him thoroughly. If he truly was the Ox God King, she would definitely beat him up!

Recently, she had been constantly rumored to be involved with the Ox God King, yet he had never explained himself or come forward. It was truly despicable.

At the same time, she also considered that if Chu Feng was the Ox God King, then he could indeed be the one who killed the Azure Wolf King, and everything would connect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo Shen was very surprised!

She became even more eager for the subsequent investigation, wanting to know his true identity immediately.

However, at the dinner table, Jiang Luo Shen appeared natural, smiling as she looked at Xia Qianyu. "Doomsday Ascent is about to be released. This is your debut work. I wish you popularity across the land in advance."

Chu Feng also chuckled, "On my way here, I saw many promotional posters with many big names clearly supporting it. Oh, and I saw you on the poster too. Future big star, congratulations in advance."

Xia Qianyu was delighted and also looked forward to the release of this major drama. At the same time, she didn't forget to tease Chu Feng, "Didn't you say you're an actor too, and starred in a film? When is it coming out?"

Chu Feng immediately deflated upon hearing this. He wasn't afraid of battling the Azure Wolf King, but he worried about the terrible consequences that might follow the film's release.

Jiang Luo Shen also smiled brilliantly, looking very enchanting. "It won't clash with Qianyu and their film, will it? That would be disastrous. Doomsday Ascent features major actors and a luxurious star lineup; it's practically unstoppable!"

In truth, she didn't believe Chu Feng had actually starred in a film; she was merely teasing him.

Yet, Chu Feng nodded seriously, sighing, "I met the wrong person, ran into a terrible director, utterly unlucky!"

He felt there was no point in hiding it, as the film was bound to be released, and eventually, both women would see his actual performance.

The two women laughed a little "wildly," completely disregarding their image. They looked radiant and were very happy, their charming faces beaming.

"Can you two have a little sympathy?" Chu Feng complained.

"You talk as if you really filmed a major drama and it's about to be released." Xia Qianyu would never believe this pervert had participated in any show.

"Why do you always doubt me? Never mind, you'll find out eventually. Just wait and see!" Chu Feng decided to throw caution to the wind.

Jiang Luo Shen asked with a smile, "What's the name of the movie you starred in?"

"That... I can't say yet!" Chu Feng felt that if he revealed it, he probably wouldn't be able to leave tonight. Given Jiang Luo Shen's sensitivity, she would surely guess more and insist on getting answers from him.

Both women laughed, not believing him at all.

But soon, their laughter stopped. Xia Qianyu shrieked, "Luo Shen, that guy is slandering you again! Oh my god, he said 'please look forward to more,' and it's happening so quickly! He totally wants to create explosive news!"

Jiang Luo Shen's face paled upon hearing this. She was truly unnerved by the unscrupulous King De Evening News and feared another mischief.

She quickly searched. It wasn't the King De Evening News, but the person who had leaked information earlier, which was also quite alarming.

The article's title was: Jiang Luo Shen and Her Prince Charming!

Although the title wasn't as disgusting, or as shameless and unscrupulous as the King De Evening News, it still infuriated Jiang Luo Shen.

Especially after seeing the photos and general content, she truly wanted to smash her communicator and, even more, wanted to hit Chu Feng, regardless of her image.

The background of the photos was the 88th floor of Qingyun Building, where the three of them had dined last time.

In the pictures, a cool young man, wearing sunglasses and a large mask, was with the two women.

As for the two women, they were clearly visible, with almost no attempt to conceal their identities.

The young man was Chu Feng, and the other two beauties were Jiang Luo Shen and Xia Qianyu. Chu Feng looked like a masked hero, unrecognizable, while the shots of the two women were very clear.

The article set the narrative, claiming the Nation's Goddess disregarded everything for this man, not bothering to wear sunglasses or masks to cover herself, completely unconcerned about exposure, being too deeply in love!

After reading that paragraph, even Jiang Luo Shen, no matter how shrewd and capable, was almost driven mad with rage.

Her sunglasses and mask were clearly taken from her, weren't they? Of course, that wasn't the main point. The article was clearly talking nonsense, deliberately manipulating the narrative!

The article concluded with a question: Who was this man? The one who captivated the Nation's Goddess so deeply that she would openly pursue him? His identity must be extraordinary and needed to be uncovered.

As for the subsequent netizen comments and replies, they were even more horrifying.

"Oh my god, it's reversed! Jiang Luo Shen isn't hiding herself, but the man needs to conceal his identity. That's incredible!"

"My goddess, how could you be like this? So immodest!"

"This is Goddess Jiang's Prince Charming? He looks ordinary to me, not even as good as me. Goddess Jiang, your taste is terrible!"

...

Jiang Luo Shen truly wanted to kill someone, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at Chu Feng, almost throwing all the cutlery at him.

"It has nothing to do with me; I'm a victim too!" Chu Feng protested, completely distancing himself. He absolutely couldn't be associated with this, at least for now, he had to avoid it at all costs.

At this moment, he wanted to find Zhou Yitian for a real-life fight. That bastard hadn't even discussed it with him, just directly dropped such explosive news. It was truly hateful.

"It's all because of you, how detestable! By the way, the person who leaked the information couldn't be you, could it?!" Xia Qianyu exclaimed.

"How could that be? I'm still here. Besides, am I stupid? I'm not even married yet. If I get involved in a scandal with you two now and ruin my reputation, how will I find a girl I like in the future? I'm also a victim in this incident, understand?!" Chu Feng complained again.

Xia Qianyu was instantly furious upon hearing this, but she quickly restrained herself because her communicator rang.

"Oh no, it's the director calling me. It must be because of this leaked incident." Xia Qianyu's heart pounded furiously; she was very nervous. After answering the call, she softly addressed him as Director Zhao.

As expected, an angry voice came from the other end. "Xia, what's going on with you? In Doomsday Ascent, you're supposed to appear as a very pure character, which is the biggest highlight and you have a significant role. You're... dragging the whole show down."

Xia Qianyu was quite frightened, but Jiang Luo Shen remained calm. She took the communicator and told Director Zhao that it was nothing, quickly placating him with a few simple words.

Jiang Luo Shen acted quickly, contacting people to help delete the posts, but found it ineffective this time; she was rebuffed.

"Luo Shen, the situation isn't good, it's tricky!" Xia Qianyu helped analyze, "These things are happening one after another. They're deliberately trying to blacken your name; they want to create explosive news."

Chu Feng, eyes downcast, sat upright and said nothing, not daring to offer any opinion. He was determined to distance himself from this, no matter what.

Jiang Luo Shen was staring at him, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent. Although she was called the Nation's Goddess, right now, she truly wanted to hit him like a violent woman!

Suddenly, Chu Feng's communicator rang again on the dining table.

He saw it was Zhou Yitian again, his face almost turning green. He quickly hung up and said, "These spam calls are so shameless."

In a residence.

Zhou Yitian looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Brother, I want to share my joy with you. What are you so busy with? Why aren't you answering? The publicity effect is incredibly popular right now!"

For Chu Feng, there was no joy at all; it was clearly terrifying. Things were about to be exposed!

Jiang Luo Shen was staring at him with an unfriendly expression. "Why do you keep refusing to answer and quickly hanging up?"
